In Reply to: Recommend another game? posted by Petee on January 12, 1999 at 08:47:47:
: I finished Dark Haven only a few days ago, and already I'm suffering withdrawal symptoms!
: Can anybody recommend another game to take my mind off things?
: I've tried Kyle's Quest, but it's just not in the same league as DH, and I object to having to register it before I can even save my game.
: Can anyone suggest a worthy substitute? (I could play over again, I suppose...)
As far as games outside of PalmPilot goes:
Try Epic Games's very first game, Castle of the Winds, was very good and very similiar to DH. It was a Win3.1 game. I'm not sure if you
can still get it though. Check their website. http://www.epicgames.com/
For those of you (like me) in the Linux world, try Qt-Nethack. Of course, regular Nethack also works, though it is character-based graphics. Ugh.
QtNethack is better. Look at http://trolls.troll.no/warwick/nethack/. There are also Win32 versions of QtNethack on the page, but I have never gotten
them to download (I use Win95 at work =( ).
All in all, though, DH is the best of it's kind (i.e. single member role-playing). I'm eagerly awaiting DH II!
